I'm retaking this course and could not figure out this problem, please help.4.2 Mr. Busfield recently completed a course in logistics management and nowrealizes that there are significant costs associated with ordering and maintaininginventory at his distribution center. Mr. Busfield has learned that the EOQ is thereplenishment logic that minimizes these costs. In an effort to find the EOQ formeasuring cups, Mr. Busfield has gathered relevant data. Mr. Busfield expects to sell44,000 measuring cups this year. Hogan acquires the measuring cups for 75 centseach from Shatter Industries. Shatter charges $8 for processing each order. In addition,Mr. Busfield estimates his company's inventory carrying cost to be 12 percentannually.a. Find Mr. Busfield's EOQ for measuring cups. Assume that Mr. Busfield acceptsownership of products upon arrival at his DC.b. Now assume Mr. Busfield must arrange for inbound transportation of themeasuring cups since Hogan accepts ownership of products at the supplier's shippingpoint. Quantities of fewer than 4000 measuring cups cost 5 cents per unit to ship.Quantities of 4000 and above cost 4 cents per unit to ship. Determine the difference intotal costs associated with an EOQ of 4000 units and the EOQ level found in part (a)when transportation costs must be considered.c. Given the information above and the low cost EOQ alternative determined in part(b), use period-order-quantity logic to determine the number of orders Hogan wouldplace each year for measuring cups and the time interval between orders.
